My uncle has HED3 (front) on one of his bikes. I had a go and it didn't inspire much confidence. Despite what they say a light crosswind does have a noticable effect and I feel I wouldn't feel comfortable riding them in any harsher wind conditions.
Also I worry about something which has been designed for such a specific job being used outside what I would consider its 'comfort zone'. Im not sure whether you'll use it exclusively on the track but I would question there ability to withstand too many typical riding-on-shitty-street knocks.
My best suggestion is to simply(?) find someone who has them to let you have a go. Good luck.
